Brand History: The Uncompromising Spirit of Texas Bourbon

Tasting Notes: A Truly Chest-Thumping Flavor Experience

A 6+ year old Texas bourbon at a monumental 155.1 proof, like 'It'll Put Hair On Your Chest', promises an incredibly potent and deeply layered tasting experience. The fierce Texas climate profoundly shapes the spirit. While every single barrel proudly asserts its own unique character:

• Nose: Expect an immediate and powerful olfactory assault of profound, dark aromas. Dominant notes of rich, almost blackened caramel, thick dark molasses, and intense bittersweet chocolate are likely, vigorously supported by robust charred oak, potent vanilla extract, and perhaps a hint of smoky campfire or well-aged leather. Underlying currents of roasted espresso beans, dark stewed fruits, and a signature sweet Texas corn richness will be present, all significantly amplified by the commanding alcohol presence.
• Palate: A full-throttle, unapologetically bold flavor experience with a remarkably thick, viscous, and palate-coating texture. Intense sweetness from dark brown sugar, rich treacle, and toasted pecans will boldly grapple with powerful charred oak tannins, black pepper spice, and a fiery cinnamon and clove inferno. Layers of dark dried fruits (like prunes or dates), rich dark coffee, and perhaps a subtle, smoky, almost peppery earthiness will contribute to its profound depth. The uncut and unfiltered nature ensures an unadulterated delivery of every rich flavor molecule and ester.
• Finish: Exceptionally long, undeniably powerful, and intensely warming – it lives up to its name. The 155.1 proof ensures a finish that commands your attention for an extended period, with evolving notes of sweet and spicy oak, dark cocoa, lingering baking spices, and a satisfying, almost volcanic Texas heat that truly endures and impresses.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs):

• Q: What does the "Hazmat" designation signify for a bourbon?

  • A: "Hazmat" is an informal term used by bourbon enthusiasts to describe bourbons with exceptionally high alcohol by volume, typically exceeding 140 proof (70% ABV). The term humorously alludes to hazardous materials due to the spirit's high flammability and intense character.

• Q: How does the Hye, Texas, environment affect the aging of this bourbon?

  • A: Hye, Texas, home to Garrison Brothers Distillery, experiences significant temperature swings and high heat. This dynamic climate accelerates the bourbon's interaction with the oak barrel, leading to faster maturation, deeper color development, and more intense, concentrated flavors, often characterized by bold oak and caramel notes, as well as higher proofs due to increased evaporation (the "angel's share").

• Q: What is the significance of Barrel No. 14794?

  • A: Barrel No. 14794 is the specific, individual barrel hand-selected by Nestor Liquor for the 'It'll Put Hair On Your Chest' bottling. As a single barrel release, its contents offer a unique flavor profile that is entirely distinct from any other barrel ever produced.

• Q: Is a 155.1 proof bourbon safe to drink? How should it be enjoyed?

  • A: A 155.1 proof bourbon is extremely potent and must be approached with considerable respect and caution. While safe for consumption in strict moderation by individuals experienced with high-proof spirits, it is strongly recommended to sip it very slowly. Many connoisseurs prefer to add a few drops of distilled water or a small piece of ice to slightly reduce the proof. This can help temper the alcohol's intensity and allow the complex flavors to become more discernible and enjoyable. Always consume high-proof spirits responsibly and be acutely aware of your personal limits.

• Q: Can you tell me more about Garrison Brothers Distillery?

  • A: Garrison Brothers Distillery, located in Hye, Texas, is celebrated as the first legal bourbon distillery in the state of Texas. They are highly regarded for producing premium, grain-to-glass Texas bourbon with a characteristically bold, rich, and robust profile, heavily influenced by the local climate and their meticulous crafting process.

• Q: What does "Uncut & Unfiltered" mean for this particular bourbon?

  • A: "Uncut" means the bourbon is bottled at its natural cask strength directly from the barrel, with no water added to lower the proof. "Unfiltered" (or non-chill filtered) signifies that it has not undergone a filtration process that might remove natural congeners, oils, and esters. This preserves a fuller mouthfeel and potentially a richer, more authentic and complex flavor profile.

• Q: What's the story behind the name 'It'll Put Hair On Your Chest'?
